Retired police dog Fred has a new important job…

Meet Fred, a retired police dog who is now making PAT visits along with his owner, retired police officer Louise. The dynamic duo are already an amazing  PAT Team, spending time with children at Fairmead School in Yeovil, Somerset. Unsurprisingly, Fred has quickly made lots of fans.

Fred and Louise are supported by WAGS Retired Police Dogs, an organisation that raises money for life-saving veterinary treatment fees for retired police dogs in Wiltshire, Avon, Gloucestershire and Somerset. We're honoured that they've chosen to join our PAT family.
